I know you use an e-ticket to get in, which I have, but do you get a wristband like other festivals? (such as Leeds, Reading, etc)

Answer
Im a sales employee working at that event, and the answer is no. You do not get a wristband. If you are talking about needing a wristband to get in, the answer is no. But, you do get an Itunes Live: London wristband as a gift for going to the concert! They give you a wristband at the entrace, and I believe there are different colored ones, but on the wristband, the phrase "Live the London Way" is imprinted on the wristband.

Why is the word "live" (as in "living at home") and "live" (as in "live concert") spelled EXACTLY the same?

The Winner

This seems like a goof in the English language. Sometimes when I'm reading and I see the word "live" I will think of it in the wrong context until I read the entire sentence.

Example:

"Live, work and play"

vs.

"I saw a live snake in my basement"

Why are these two different words spelled exactly the same? Are their any other words in the English language like this?

Answer
Wikipedia has a nice page about heteronyms with quite a list of them (over 80) , their pronunciations, and meanings.
Some from their page:

alternate (alternit): other, substitution
alternate (alternayt): to take turns

bass (base): low in pitch
bass (bass): a fish

close (clohs): nearby
close (cloze): to shut

dove (dohv): past tense of "dive"
dove (duhv): a bird

lead (lehd): a metal
lead (leed): to guide

present (prezent): a gift
present (preezent): to reveal

As to why language has evolved like this.... not sure that anybody could tell you this for certain.
